Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 659 - 652: Schemes (Part 7)

"Do you know what my biggest regret is? It’s that back then, when Wu Chengzu was about to kill you, I spared you for the sake of being my favorite student!"

Bai Yiran’s body trembled slightly as she had no choice but to hold onto the table tightly, her eyes filled with shock.

Back then, Yin Hao also kidnapped her, but unlike this time, Yin Hao’s motive was purely to get back at Leng Yichen. So, he tortured her mercilessly, abused her, and beat her, which directly led to her miscarriage when she was four months pregnant.

It was at that moment that Wu Chengzu appeared. He killed Yin Hao and everyone he brought with him, and then slowly walked towards her, pressing a gun against the back of her head.

At that time, Bai Yiran really thought she was doomed, but before she could hear Wu Chengzu’s gunshot, she had already fainted.

When she woke up again, she was being treated in the hospital.

Everyone found it unbelievable. How did Bai Yiran survive under the gun of Poison King Nawa?

The police asked her this question, Leng Yichen asked her, and even Gao Sheng once thought she was in cahoots with Nawa and almost hurt her while she was recovering in the hospital room.

But at that time, Bai Yiran was heartbroken over the lost child and had no mind to think about how she survived.

So, the reason why Bai Yiran was the only one alive when everyone else was killed became a mystery.

It wasn’t until today, hearing Yao Zhiqing’s words, that Bai Yiran finally learned the truth of that moment.

Yao Zhiqing gazed at Bai Yiran. "I wasn’t there when Wu Chengzu killed Yin Hao. When I arrived, you were already lying there. If I had been a moment later, Wu Chengzu might have put a bullet through your skull. I recognized you and couldn’t bear it; that’s why I begged him to spare you." At this, Yao Zhiqing laughed bitterly, "If I had known today would come, I wouldn’t have let him spare you back then! These past few days, I’ve been thinking why I didn’t just kill you outright? If I had done that, it would have saved me and Wu Chengzu a lot of trouble! Most importantly, if you had died back then, Wu Chengzu would never have fallen in love with you later!"

Yao Zhiqing’s eyes were filled with hatred, her lips quivering with emotion.

Bai Yiran looked at Yao Zhiqing’s eyes. It wasn’t ordinary hatred; it was the look of seeing a love rival. She had seen the same look in the eyes of other women, like Qi Hui, Wu Lin, Bai Qianyu, or Cheng Shishi, who once fell deeply in love with Wu Chengzu.

"You love Wu Chengzu?" Bai Yiran realized but still found it hard to believe.

"Of course, I love him!" Yao Zhiqing affirmed directly. "I love him more than any woman! I would die for him! I just never thought, that the student I saved out of a moment’s compassion would become the biggest obstacle between me and him!"

Yao Zhiqing stepped forward, grabbing Bai Yiran’s chin forcefully, with such strength that Bai Yiran was startled and couldn’t even break free.

"Because of you, Wu Chengzu has become indecisive! Because of you, Wu Chengzu has faced unprecedented crisis! It’s all because of you!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Bai Yiran’s jaw ached as she looked at the hysterical Yao Zhiqing. "If you hate me so much, why don’t you just kill me! That way you’d also relieve your hatred!"

Hearing Bai Yiran’s words, Yao Zhiqing suddenly softened again, removing her hand from Bai Yiran’s chin and gently stroking her face. "I can’t kill you; you have a much bigger purpose!"
